Quote from Letter 9.18 to Victor, bishop of Palermo. October 598
A desire that is shown to involve a religious appointment and the saving of souls should be fulfilled without any delay, with God's authority. Thus the community of monks living in the monastery of Praetoria is clearly in need of a priest, for the celebration go solemn Mass, and they ask that one of their own community should be ordained for them with this rank.
Therefore, we exhort your Fraternity with this letter, that your should ordain in the aforesaid monastery the one whom they agree unanimously should be chosen from their community.
